Quote
In September 1972, Aermacchi was awarded a contract to study a replacement for the Italian Air Force's MB-326s, comparing seven all-new designs (given the designation MB-338) powered by various engines with an improved version of the MB-326, designated the MB-339. The MB-339 was considered to meet the Italian Air Forces requirements while being cheaper than the all-new designs which resulted in it being selected to replace both the MB-326 and the Fiat G.91T in Italian service.
(https://s10.postimg.cc/3y7g4yeax/MB-339_A.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/image/6fj7c7y79/)
The MB-339 is of conventional configuration and all-metal construction, and shares much of the 326's airframe. It has a low, un-swept wing with tip tanks and jet intakes in the roots, tricycle undercarriage, and accommodation for the student and instructor in tandem. The most significant revision was a redesign of the forward fuselage to raise the instructor's seat to allow visibility over and past the student pilot's head. The aircraft was fitted with a larger fin and powerplant for the initial versions was the same Rolls-Royce Viper 632-43, producing 4,000 lbf (17.8 kN), as fitted to the MB-326-K.

The first flight took place on 12 August 1976 and deliveries to the Italian Air Force commenced in 1979. It was still in production in 2004 in an enhanced version with a much-modernised cockpit.
MB-339CD
MB-339C for Italy, with modernised flight controls and avionics, but retaining original 4,000 lbf (17.79 kW) Viper 632-43 of MB-339A. 30 built
(https://s10.postimg.cc/cggw9cpzd/MB-339_CD.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)
Over 200 MB-339s have been built, with roughly half of them going to the Italian Air Force.

According to an article posted on the Italian website 'Il Porto Franci', called 'Armi e finanziamenti nel corno d'Africa', Eritrea paid about $US 50 million for six MB-339 CEs in 1997. This is the original MB-339 with more advanced avionics for the ground attack role, RWR, uprated Viper 680-43 engine, and larger wingtip tanks. It is capable of carrying Sidewinder AAMs, AGM-65 Maverick AGMs, and laser-guided bombs. Unit price of the MB-339C would have to be somewhere around $US 8.3 million dollars in 1997.

In 1980, the COAN ordered ten MB-339As advanced trainer and light attack aircraft. These were delivered in 1981 and were operated by the III Escuadra Naval 's 1 Escuadrilla de Ataque. During the Falklands War, late in April 1982, six of them were located at Port Stanley Airport, renamed Base Aérea Militar (BAM) Malvinas. They were the only attack jets to operate from the Falklands, along with four Beech T-34 Turbo-Mentor light attack/trainer aircraft, and 24 turboprop FMA IA 58 Pucará light attack aircraft of Grupo 3 de Ataque. Other Aermacchis operated from three mainland bases, at Almirante Zar, Bahía Blanca and Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego naval air station.

On 3 May 1982 Lt Benitez crashed into high ground with approaching the airport at Port Stanley, and was killed. On 21 May during a routine reconnaissance flight and flown by Lieutenant Owen Crippa, a MB-339A was the first one to attack the Royal Navy amphibious force. The Aermacchi hit the frigate HMS Argonaut, causing light damage. On 27 May, a MB-339A (4-A-114) was shot down by a Blowpipe missile during the Battle for Goose Green, while attempting to attack British ships and landed troops. The Pilot, Teniente (Lt) Miguel, was killed. Three MB-339 airframes were captured by the British. One of these airframes is preserved at the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum, Doncaster.

MB-339CB
New Zealand trainer and weapons training version of MB-339C, powered by Viper 680-43 engine and equipped with laser rangefinder, radar detection, AIM-9L Sidewinder and AGM-65 Maverick capability. Eighteen built and delivered from March 1991. – 17 survivors – in storage at RNZAF Base Ohakea, New Zealand

First of all, thanks for the huge and spectacular work. A new plane to represent the Falklands conflict !! And now a question, because I think I'm doing something wrong ... The cockpit of this plane looks like this for everyone?

one bug I have

On the MB_339CB the  "RocketGunAGM65B_gn16" loadout gives an audible authorization notification but the missile does not lock on to the target when launched.

I think it depends by engine mod modification for more realism.

AGM65B seems less effective than first, you had to hold more time the target on sight, and need day light conditions, also after 17:00 missiles seems much less effective.

In all weapons packs there is no pylon

Quote
a_lweaponslot[2] = new Aircraft._WeaponSlot(9, "Pylon_326_050", 1);
a_lweaponslot[3] = new Aircraft._WeaponSlot(9, "Pylon_326_050", 1);
accordingly - weapons do not appear in all models in the simple editor window.

It hears like MB-326 is not installed (I'm not sure though).



B.A.T. is free from such dependence troubles and I recommend --- also about MB-339.

There is no Pylon_326_050 pylon in the MACCHI326 mod.

Title: Re: Aermacchi MB-339 - 30mm gunpods
Post by: xxxautoxxx on October 24, 2021, 04:44:23 PM
Love, love, LOVE this AC addition - esp the modern cockpits in the 1994/1997 vers'!

one small issue - when the 30mm gunpods are added/used, they cause TERRIBLE vibration/instability when fired - even in short burst?

Any workaround or fix for this like was dont with the F-16 a while back?

thanks, and keep up the great work all !!!

Hi!, how can i install the new cockpit of the mb 339 in BAT 4.2.1, that it has the old  F-80 (i think?) cockpit?

Hello Guys,
playing some Falklands missions and I ntoiced, as posted by xxxautoxxx  above,  the aircraft yaws and shudders very violently firing the 30mm gunpods. Disabling realistic gunnery solves the issue, but then you have the tradeoffs to ballistics & hitting power.
From  WXtech's excellent gun sway thread (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,72653.msg790821.html#msg790821 (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,72653.msg790821.html#msg790821)), I think I could use that method to fix this-I assume I would have to dive into java for that though? Never done java before , so would need to figure that out.
